Hotels in Northern Thailand, Thailand
Northern Thailand, nestled in the country's mountainous north, has a tropical climate with a cool dry season from November to February (60-80°F or 15-27°C) perfect for trekking through the jungles of Chiang Mai and visiting elephant sanctuaries. The hot season from March to June (up to 95°F or 35°C) is great for exploring the ancient temples of Chiang Rai and the White Temple, while the rainy season from July to October offers lush green landscapes and cheaper prices for river rafting on the Mae Taeng River. During the cool season, you can also join the Yi Peng Lantern Festival in November, where thousands of lanterns light up the sky.
